POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSISTANT
IN MOLECULAR PLANT PATHOLOGY
Applications are invited for a 3 year postdoctoral research post,
funded by the AFRC, to work on molecular variation and the
genetics of host specificity in Peronospora parasitica , a
biotrophic
fungal pathogen of crucifers. The project will use RAPDs and
RFLPs to fingerprint isolates from different host species and map
pathogen genes of interest. The postdoctoral scientist will join a
small team working on the genetics of downy mildew fungi, but
will also interact with the Plant Molecular Biology research
group.
Experience in appropriate molecular techniques is essential. The
salary will be on the RA 1A scale.
Applications, including a cv. and the names of two referees
should
be sent ASAP to Dr. John Lucas, Department of Life Science,
University of Nottingham, NG7 2RD. Further details can be
obtained from either Dr. Zoe Wilson (0602 513235) or Dr. John
Lucas (0602 513203).
